A member asked:
Is it true that when a stomach virus hits, i will vomit and not have diharrea until the virus has moved lower?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Some types of viruses cause nausea and vomiting only, some cause diarrhea too. Sometimes the symptoms come all at once, sometimes they are delayed. It's really impossible to predict. Remember, strict hand washing or sanitization and good food safety practices can prevent many intestinal illnesses. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
